Testimonials
"Through Suzie’s course, I have learned how to react calmly to my 6-year-old son's outbursts, and he is more receptive to hearing me. We've found ways to better connect, in good and difficult times. Thanks to Suzie, I know my relationship with my son (and myself!) is stronger than ever!"
—Cari Twitchell
"Suzie's Mindful Parenting training beautifully blends the art of mindfulness into each interaction we have with our children for a calmer family life. The training allowed me to acknowledge what I had been doing well with my children while uncovering areas I could improve. Suzie does an excellent job at breaking down a big topic with big emotions into bite-size, achievable pieces carried out in a practical way. Thanks Suzie!"
—Tina Smith
"I've learnt so much from Suzie that I now have better ways of communicating with my children when they're triggered or upset. This is an ongoing learning for me especially when I feel quite overwhelmed by parenting myself. Thank-you Suzie, I am deeply grateful to you for being so generous with your ongoing offerings and how you give so much to many parents worldwide."

I know I'm sounding controversial with this week's blog title! But I'm not actually being that extreme - locking your child in the laundry is truly one of the discipline recommendations of one of the most widely accepted parenting approaches in Australia and overseas.
While there are many good things about this program, I want to take issue with this recommendation.
Why do they tell parents to lock their kids in the laundry?
